Excellent novella in the GFL universe/series. Compelling story, interesting (though absolutely INSANE) characters, and a climactic battle that contained one of the most sickening, savage, and incredible victory moves I've ever read. Seriously, I did not believe it happened until I read it again. My jaw dropped, and all I could think was: "What the f*ck did I just read?! No way that happened... Holy sh*t, that totally happened!" No clue what will happen next in this series, but I can't wait to find out.

Lots of great background story from in between The Rookie and The Starter. Must read for any Sigler Junkie.

I love the GFL books and was in the need of a quick GFL fix and thought this could help me out.
I enjoyed this book but I did have a tougher time caring about the characters. Don't get me wrong, they were interesting characters but I wasn't even sure who I wanted to win.
If you are a GFL fan it is worth a read. They tip their hat enough to the GFL series mentioning characters and places from there.

What happens when two immovable forces collide? What if those forces only survive because they are immovable? What if those same forces are pure of intent and as such used as pawns in others larger game of profit, but none of the players care so long as the goal is attained? That goal? To fight. Not to win titles. Not to unify championships. Not to have eternal glory. But simply to be a true fighter because words like warrior or gladiator are just words. That is the power of this novel. That is why "Title Fight" for all of its raw brutality, unflinchingly pugnacious language and pummeling imagery is a rare and desirable book. No, I'm not a fan of boxing or books about it. But I AM a fan of GOOD books that use real characters and EFFECTIVELY use pugilism as a vehicle to see the inner psyche of a pure fighter. I think that the most powerful moments in the novella came when former and current fighters didn't fight, but talked. Honestly. Openly. And fully about what the reasons are for why they do what they do and why pain isn't to be avoided. But to be embraced as a goal and vehicle in attaining the ultimate goal. To be known as one who truly fought. Not sparred. Not scuffled. Not wrestled around. But FOUGHT! Ding. Ding. Ding.
